My quad got stuck in first gear during my last race. Made for some slow laps lol. Just got it opened up to find a screw backed out of the transmission....shucks. this is only the second transmission problem I've had after 15 years of Cannondales! Not bad

Yes its the little screws that can be pesky . Early one a big deal was made about crank and cartridge plate screw securment but many times its the little ones that fall out. When doing updates it not complete unless every screw is done . Kinda nice when its an engine pull for something minor though eh?

Sure can be pesky. I know what you mean on the little screws. I've always over looked the transmission screws. I've had so little problems with the tranny's that I haven't given them much detail. usually just pull them out in one piece, clean, and stick them back back in. Torque and loctite the big bolts and call it good. You can bet I'll be doing the little screws now though.
